One Busy Summer = A No-Sew Tunic!

This summer has been filled with vacations, weddings, girl's camp, baby showers, camping trips, and lots of tractor work! I have had little time to sew, but did manage a no-sew refashion. I just love those!! I didn't even take the time to shoot before pictures because there was really no change to the items, just a bit of layering.

I have been loving tunics and this one is no exception. I found a bright floral t-shirt that I loved, but it was bit too short. At the same time, I found a silky polka dot tank top, but it was a bit too loose. My original plan was to cut off the lower portion of the tank top and stitch it to the bottom of the t-shirt. That plan alone would have been a super simple refashion. But, then the idea came to just layer the two and not stitch at all. I love it when inspiration strikes! Because they were kept separate, the two tops have the added bonus of future mixing and matching.

I'm becoming more confident layering clothing, but I do need to step more out of my comfort zone. I love the combination of the polka dots with the floral. I would never have thought to pair them together, but they work so well. I've featured your no sew tunic today, Susan.
